Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Used to be just “he” or “she,”
Now it’s “they,” “ze,” “fae,” and “tree”?
I filled out a form, it gave me a list,
Fifty-four genders — how’d I miss this?

[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t mean harm, I’m just confused,
Clicked “prefer not to say” and hit snooze.

⸻

[Chorus]
What box do I tick, what pronoun is right?
I just came here to book a flight.
I’m tryin’ to learn, I’m doin’ my best,
But I need a glossary just to get dressed.
It’s a brand new world, and I’m not slick —
Just tell me, babe, what box do I tick?

⸻

[Verse 2]
My barista’s “voidflux dragonkin,”
Okay cool, I’ll roll with it then.
My coworker’s “cloudfluid spice,”
I said, “That’s neat” — they said, “That’s not nice.”

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I’m not tryin’ to judge, I’m tryin’ to adapt,
But I need a chart and a gender map.

⸻

[Chorus – repeat]
What box do I tick, what flag do I wave?
I’m happy you’re you — I just misbehave…
When I mix up “they” and “zir” and “xe,”
I get cancelled by a dancing bee.
It’s a brand new world and it moves real quick —
So someone tell me… what box do I tick?

⸻

[Bridge – softly, mock-confused]
I just asked if they wanted milk in their tea…
Suddenly I’m trending on TikTok as “colonizer energy.”

⸻

[Final Chorus – big & silly]
What box do I tick, what lane do I drive?
I’m just tryin’ to keep my job and survive.
You do you, and I’ll do my bit,
Even if I never quite get all of it.
So let’s all laugh, and not be too strict —
’Cause deep down we’re all a little mismatched and mixed.

[Outro – playful fade]
You be a moon elf, I’ll be a confused guy…
We’ll both just vibe and let the world fly.
